More details to this question:
Once my divorce is finalized, I will have to leave the country because my legal status was dependent on my husband. I have been working all 8 years of our marriage, but once I leave country, I will be out of job. Will I be eligible for alimony? Also can I take my son with me because he has been living all the time with me since he left me 4 years back.

No one gets anything without first asking the other party or the Court for permission. If your spouse does not object to your taking your son out of the County, no problem, get it in writing and take him. If your spouse objects, you will need to petition the Court for an order to do so. With regard to the alimony issue, your 8 years of marriage is not considered long term and you may or may get alimony. If you do, it will most likely be for a short period of time.
